About this ebook
In the game of a lifetime, four basketball players will test their skills, teamwork, determination, and resilience in this young adult sports novel.
“This is a great story about how one sport can transcend different experiences, background, and beliefs, and unite in a desire to succeed.”—Jim Calhoun, former Head Coach, Men’s Basketball, University of Connecticut
“Does a terrific job of capturing the emotion of March Madness.”—Mike “Coach K” Krzyzewski, former Head Coach, Men’s Basketball, Duke University
March Madness is in full swing, and there are only four teams let in the NCAA basketball championship. The heavily favored Michigan Spartans and the underdog Troy Trojans meet in the first game in the semifinals and it’s there that the fates of Malcolm, Roko, Crispin, and M.J. intertwine. As the last moments tick down on the game clock, you’ll learn how each player went from being a kid who loves to shoot hoops to a powerful force in one of the most important games of the year.
Which team will leave the Superdome victorious?
In the end it will come down to who has the most skill, the most drive, and the most heart.
